Linking up a Bose soundbar with Sky puck

[stumpsbird]

Hi helpful people.  I have a Panasonic TV but the optical port on it is broken.  I have a Bose soundbar Solo 5 and a sky puck.  Could someone explain to me (im not very tech savvy) how I can connect my soundbar to this whole set up and what i

mohht need to do on my TV settings. Which cable goes to where. The soundbar has an Aux, Optical and a Coaxil port as well as USB. The tv has broken optical, HDMI 1, HDMI 2(currently has sky puck) HDMI3, and then Left and Rught audio ports plus USB1,2.  Very appreciative of your help.

Not easily if the optical port on your TV is broken. 

Does the TV have a headphone socket? You could possibly get a cable to connect that output to the AUX input on the soundbar. This would give you basic stereo, but it all honesty, if you want decent sound then you should try and get the optical port on the TV fixed. Better still, treat yourself to a new TV and soundbar with eARC capability, that way you'll get the benefit of more audio formats from Sky Stream.

Thank you I thought that might be what was recommended ! Not sure how to fix the optical port, it's not a very old tv and that port has been rubbish since we got it, eventually gave up today. Yes it does have a headphone port.
